16
Q

Can Populations become isolated in several ways

17
Q

When does gene flow occur

A

When individuals join new populations and reproduce

18
Q

Does Behavioral isolation includes different in courtship or mating behaviors

19
Q

When can reproductive isolation occur

A

Can occur between isolated populations; occurs when member of different populations connor mate successfully

20
Q

Can behavioral Barriers cause isolation

21
Q

Gene flow

A

Is the movement of alleles between populations

22
Q

What does genetic drift cause

A

A loss of genetic diversity and is most common in small populations

23
Q

Immigration

A

Is the process of joining a new population

24
Q

When does sexual selection occur

A

It occurs when certain traits increase mating success and occurs due to higher closet of reproduction for females

25
Is it less or more likely to have some individuals that can adapt
Less
26
True or false: harmful alleles can become more common due to chance
True
27
What happened when you have a low gene flow
Increases the chance that two populations will evolve into different species
28
True of false: the founding of a small population can lead to genetic drift
True
